Personal Information and How We Use It

We only collect the personally identifiable information (including but not limited to name, mailing and/or billing address, e-mail address, telephone numbers and/or credit/debit card information) you knowingly choose to disclose to us on an individual basis only for the purposes for which it was given. These purposes include signing up to receive e-mail newsletters or other materials, requesting more information about our charities, making a donation, submitting a volunteer application, or nominating a local Detroit hero. We do not collect any personally identifiable information from you unless you provide it to us.

We do not store any information you enter on our website or give us in any other way. We ask for personal information so that we can fulfill your request, review your volunteer application, process your donation, and/or return your message.
